Key Topics & Insights
1. The DOJ’s Troubled Release and Its Fallout
[01:30]
- Suspect Process: Only half the Epstein files released; DOJ claims only ~3 million pages "relevant" out of 6 million, raising suspicions of a cover-up.
- Survivor Outrage: Personal information of survivors has not been properly redacted, resulting in re-traumatization and anger towards the DOJ. Lawyer Bradley Edwards' statement emphasizes DOJ’s “utter failure” to protect victims’ identities.
- Quote:
“Their complete and utter failure to do so would lead any reasonable person to believe that these violations are no mistake.” (Bradley Edwards, survivors’ lawyer)
